Giuliani Considering Governor Of New York Run

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Rudy Giuliani said Sunday he will consider running for governor of New York and isn't ruling out a second attempt at the U.S. presidency.

A one-time presidential front-runner and former mayor of New York City, Giuliani dropped out of the race for Republican nominee in January after losing the primary in Florida, where he had poured the bulk of his campaign resources.

"No one knows whether you'll do something again until you come to the point of: 'Is it possible to do it again? Would you have a chance of winning?'" he said of a second White House bid following a speech in Dubai. "I mean those are just things you can't evaluate right now."

He said Sunday he is not sure whether a different strategy would have won him the nomination. The financial crisis gave Democrats a natural advantage in this month's elections, he said.

"If you had told me a year ago we would have a major economic crisis, I would've told you it would be very hard for any Republican ... to win," he said in during a question-and-answer session with CNN International anchor Hala Gorani at the Leaders in Dubai Business Forum.

In response to a question, Giuliani did not rule out running for governor of New York.

"I don't know if I'd be interested in it, but I'll think about it when the right time comes along," Giuliani said.

5. If he does and he wins, I predict Judith stays in Manhattan.
She doesn't strike me as hot to be Queen of Albany.

9. After he announces his intention to run for NY Governor, I think Sen. Clinton
should announce that she is interested in the same job and announce her plans to enter the race.

My guess is that Giulani would not like to see that happen.
